Used to be brand loyal to GM, it will be a long cold day in hell before I give my good money to that bunch of criminals.

Wife's 2008 TrailBlazer SS, 23,000 on the odometer and we have the 2019 Ford Transit Connect for carrying the Berners around, it is their van.

Does it still have the delivery plastic on the seats and steering wheel?

FCA's 8 speed transmission rocks. It was in my '19 RAM 1500 and it is in the Gladiator.

Dollar for dollar they're a great car... I rented them back when first came out and was pleasantly suprised.

Loved the car, would buy another one, but not with an automatic.

HIGHLY recommend a 6th gen with a manual. I LOVE mine.

My BIL has a '17 V6 stick. He loves his, and especially loves the fact that his kids can't drive it.

Absolutely. Not only that it's theft proof.

Even the idiots at the dealership struggle with it.

My Camaro is an automatic.
It just appeared on a dealers lot, and it ticked most of the boxes.
I'd have preferred no sunroof and a manual, but I bought it...thinking the wife could drive it on occasion (she wasn't great with the MN6 in the C5). I think she has driven it twice in the 5 or 6 years I've had it.

I've already told her that whatever catches my eye next will likely have a manual.

The six speed we owned was her car. She could shift smoother than I could.

One thing I didn't care for was the shift-skip. There was no way to defeat this without some sort of aftermarket thing. It wouldn't engage under hard acceleration but it was hard to avoid at times.

My wife can do it, she was a farm kid.
But she couldn't get over the habit of leaving her foot on the clutch.
"but I'm not touching it!"
It was a point of contention.

Think that's discomfiting? I had a roommate in college that drove a Valiant, an auto. Right foot? Accelerator. Left foot? Brake. He was from Oklahoma, so I figure maybe that's what they teach them up there.

Aaaarrrrggghhh!

My mom has driven that way her entire life.

I had the dealer install the after market mod in both C5's and never had a problem. Worked flawless all the time

I did the CAGS delete and column lock bypass on my C5 immediately.
C5Gen did have some redeeming qualities back in the day.
